Also known as the North Union Railway Bridge, the bridge in the background carries the West Coast Main Line over the River Ribble towards Preston Railway Station. It was originally built 1837-8, for the North Union Railway Company. As the railways expanded, the width of the viaduct was doubled in 1879-80.
It is a grade II listed building (English Heritage Building ID: 392133 http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-392133-railway-viaduct-over-river-ribble-penwor British Listed Buildings).
